Pi is a mathematical value, approximately equal to 3.14 3.14 . This is the commonly used approximation for calculations.

Pi is symbolized by π π .

Examples of some mathematical expressions include π π :

P=2×R×π P_○=2\times R\timesπ

A=π×R×R A_○=π\times R\times R

Pi approximately equal to 3.14

Examples with solutions for Pi

Exercise #1

There are only 4 radii in a circle.

Step-by-Step Solution

A radius is a straight line that connects the center of the circle with a point on the circle itself.

Therefore, the answer is incorrect, as there are infinite radii.

Answer

False

Exercise #2

Which diagram shows a circle with a point marked in the circle and not on the circle?

Step-by-Step Solution

The interpretation of "in a circle" is inside the circle.

In diagrams a'-d' the point is on the circle, and in diagram c' the point is outside the circle.

Answer

Exercise #3

Is it possible that the circumference of a circle is 8 meters and its diameter is 4 meters?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To calculate, we will use the formula:

P2r=π \frac{P}{2r}=\pi

Pi is the ratio between the circumference of the circle and the diameter of the circle.

The diameter is equal to 2 radii.

Let's substitute the given data into the formula:

84=π \frac{8}{4}=\pi

2π 2\ne\pi

Therefore, this situation is not possible.

Answer

Impossible
